I just drove my 1LE from Aurora CO, to Raton NM, and back. One tank. 25 MPG with it set on cruise at 75mph and the tires at 32 PSI cold.

When I drive in town though, it drops to about 14 MPG.

thats a bit vague, have you actually checked the mileage?

These cars can get anywhere from low teens to close to 30 depending on the driver and conditions.

That sounds about right, I usually get about 17 in the city with my 2LT. I guess you you gotta pay to play.

6.2L FTW! Hell this car gets better fuel economy than my EVO IX did with a 2.0L easily.

I used to get 12.7 mpg. After installing my cai I average 14.7 mpg. Mostly around town. Haven't road tripped with it yet. I'd love to see how far a tank gets me on the highway.

Before and after I tuned my 1LT, I average about 21 mpg in the city, daily driver. Also just did a road trip from Charleston SC to Tampa FL, cruising on average between 75-80 mph and got 35mpg!!! No lie! I filled up right before I left and made it about an hour north of tampa before I had to fill up. woot woot!
